Since 1947
B53
The B53 is a compact, hydraulic drill with applications in geotechnical, environmental
and mineral exploration. Auger drilling, both hollow stem and continuous flight,
rotary and diamond core drilling and angle drilling are all possible. The B53 is sized
for mounting on a variety of carriers to provide go-anywhere versatility. The B53 can
be powered either from a carrier engine PTO or a dedicated drill engine.
The B53 has a 10-speed rotary head with a maximum 837 rpm [87.65 rad/s] and
8,600 ft-lbs [11,660 Nm] of torque, giving it a pulldown force of 31,400 lbs
[14,242 kg] and a retract force of 24,000 lbs [10,886.2 kg].
Over 60 years of performance and reliability.
